Why do we get up for morning sadhana?Because we have to face the whole day, and we cannot face the day without a constant level of energy.People love you for three things only: wisdom, commitment, and consistency.

Wisdomis the intuitive nature that allows you to give the right answer by listening within the question that is asked. For every question there is an answer in it.

Commitmentis the ability for your whole self to sustain its status in projected reality of action. Then people can trust you. Otherwise, it is like building a cozy bungalow on the top of a volcano. If you act like an earthquake or volcano, who will build upon you?

Consistencyis steadiness through time. Sadhana gives us sensitivity to know, to feel, and to touch. It gives us intuition to touch reality.

Themethods are three-fold: jappa, tappa, sanjam. Jappa is repetition. Tappa is the heat of central impulsation. Sanjam is merger through simran – meditation on a very slow, conscious breath.

When I tell you to get up and meditate in the ambrosial hours, it seems odd. Why should you get up at 3:30 am? Because you require those two hours to work out your own mind, so that the rest of the day you can work out your life.

Amrit vela naam jaap. Rise in the ambrosial hours and meditate. Be with God.

Whenever your mind will be in duality, you will be in trouble. There is no way you can function. `Should I go north? Should I go south?’ If you can’t decide which way you are going to go, you are going to sit right there. You’ll neither go north nor south. That’s called duality.

Life is a gift of God, and duality is a waste of that life. It doesn’t matter who you are. You may be the President of the United States, or a beggar in the street. Whenever you have duality, you will be in trouble. That’s the law. Nobody can change it.

To have no duality and to have oneness and clarity of mind, you have to keep your mind clean, smart, and healthy. ~Yogi Bhajan
